Maybe this has been discussed/mentioned, so I apologize. Do we know if this is unlocking earlier in other regions? Is VPN feasible?
No to both.

How lively/reactive does the world feel? Is a good game for people-watching? Basically do the citizens do their own thing, does the world react to you and/or change over the course of the game?

I'll be picking this up on Friday once I get paid. I've gone dark in terms of trailers and gameplay videos. I'm very excited.
Btw this game has one of the most badass loading screens I have ever seen in a game.
They do react but the citizens are like AC citizens, not Skyrim or even GTA. It does change over the course of the game.

Not sure if it's the same quality as the PC version, but playing on X1 now and the tranq rifle does have the reflection in the scope. Not really an impressive effect though as you say, older games have done it better.
That's a shame. I did notice the last gen animations on some streams too.
Looks like everyone is going to have to deal with that regardless of platform though.

Yes and no. There are some NPC's walking around but most of them will stay at the exact same spot.
The world doesn't really react to you (aside from main and side mission characters) but it will change over the course of the game. But this would be a spoiler.
I don't think that's an issue though because all of this happens during a very short timeframe. You can walk around and explore as long as you want but the main mission has a short time span, so it's not surprising that NPC's are not reacting.

I'm currently in
Can I go back to Prague after and do the side missions I didn't finish or will some of them expire?
Golem City for the first time.

So it's more the details and such that make it such a good hub? Always something new to discover?

Digital or physical copy?
Digital deluxe edition.
This is a screenshot of the loading I was talking about. I won't tell why it's badass..you'll find it for yourself when you see it.
It's a cheap effect.
Yea I noticed it just now...it's there on PS4.

Oh cool. Not only does the PC version come out tomorrow evening, but it's a worldwide release so we can't even VPN unlock it.

Exactly. I've played 30 hours and haven't discovered every building. And you can't discover everything at the beginning because you lack important skills. I wouldn't focus on NPC's. It's more exploration and experience. It's not like Witcher 3 (for example) where every NPC reacts to your decisions. It's a linear story but you can spend hours exploring the world and doing side quests.
Yes but
something will change so you might faile some of the quests

Hacked my way into an apartment near Adam's home, interacted with a telescope in the flat's window and I can't seem to exit from it. I'm stuck looking at two guys swigging beer ha.
Can you kill people in the hub?
Tap them on the shoulder then sucker punch them in the face? Anytrhing?

Sure. I don't kill anyone in my first playthrough but I slap someone in the face when I'm angry, lol. You could kill them of course^^
As far as I know you can even kill the npc's who give you quests. But why would you do this? ^^
Fission mailed.

Excellent! That answers that then. Thank you!
Square Enix made it a pain in the ass for you to get some of your Day One bonuses like the OST sampler and art book for some reason. For physical copies there's a code in the case you need to register on Square Enix's website, if you're a member or register, which then in turn you need to wait to receive an email from Squeenix for a link or code for said content. Like, they couldn't just give you the code to redeem to get that stuff right away rather than going the extra steps of having to register and then wait for a email.
Thankfully it seems a little more simplified for the digital versions where you fire up the game, link your account via the option on the main menu and then you receive the email with your bonus content.
Nice, and you can fail side missions like this too?
Is the snowy mountain area from one of the trailers still in the game?

You can.
But this isn't Skyrim or Witcher 3. There aren't 50 side quests. It's quality over quantity. Some of the side missions are really long. You can kill the target but you don't have to. You can kill the guy that starts the quest...well you can kill everyone if you want but...^^
Edit: Also, you have to explore the hub to find every quest. You can miss them easily
I'll be playing it on PC.

Really can't decide if I should get this for my old PC i5-2320/GTX 670 or Xbox One.
Any help here?

From what I understand, the Witcher 3 is renowned for the quality of the side quests.
Seems like a bold statement. How is this game proving to be better than that?
The wait for us PC gamers is a little bothersome. I've waited for this game for a really long time (and felt bummed by the delay of six months) but I think I'll manage an extra 19 hours to what it was for console players here in Finland.
Still I'm happy for all of you who got it early!

No, they confirmed it's 3am EST and midnight PST. For some odd reason Xbox owners get it unlocked at midnight EST/9pm PST.
From the OP which came from the devs and publisher:
The load times are really long on XB1 and it has unstable framerate apparently. Which sucks for me since I was really looking forward to playing a new game on my Xbox One Sexy.

Nice.
Is the HUD/text/loading screen at 1080p or 900p? Watching the DF video, the text during the loading screen appears slightly blurrier.

God nOoblet16 is getting me even more hyped! Picking it up at midnight tonight. Start class tomorrow but may pull an all nighter anyway

The "Dynamic" Theme on PS4 that comes with the digital pre-order is sooooo bad.
Simo

I see. :/
I bought 1TB HDD for Xbox and having a lot of fun with it lately.. guess I'll get it on PS4 and delete something.
Yea PS4 has 1080p as well (though DF said the temporal AA makes it look better than other 900p titles on Xbox), depends on whether controller and achievements are more important for you.

I would not compare these games. Witcher 3 is an open world game, Deus Ex only has a hub world that's small compared to the world of Witcher 3. Really small. But it's dense and full of secrets, hidden paths and mysteries. It doesnt have a lot of side quests. But these side quests are interesting, long and connected to the overall story of the game. It's an amazing atmosphere.
I just mentioned Witcher 3 because it's probably one of the best games of this gen with a lot of content and side quests. Deus Ex is a 35-45 hour game if you want to explore everything. But that's finde because everything in this world is connected. Even the side quests make sense when you experience the main story. Every hacked PC has a connection to the story.
It's immersive.
It seems like a small game at first but you just have to ignore the main story. And what seems like a small word ( well hub) quickly becomes a really interesting and a big location when you realise that you can enter many buildings, hacking everyones PC, etc. you can spend hours and hours in this "small" city....or you can just do main missions and finish the game in 12-15 hours. But you would miss 80% of the game

Lies.
I fire up my PS4 sometimes just to listen to McCann's forboding music....at least the background is a little animated unlike other dynamic themes and it's free.
A BOMB !?
